Does avoiding PMO help with talking to real women?

If you are in flatline, you are really low on motivation, energy and probably confidence. This is similar or worst than a PMO state. It's normal that in this phase your social skills will suffer.
Doing nofap and out of flatline fills you with motivation, energy, drive, happiness and confidence. All of that make it easier for you to speak with anyone.

 

Just let it be! keep working on yourself and eventually your brain will heal and flatline periods will be over.

 

What helps with talking to women or anyone in general is actually gaining experience talking to others.

When you indulge in PMO or any other sort of escapism to numb out any tension you're feeling... you condition yourself to avoid discomfort / uncertainty / unideal situations / situations that bring tension.

A lot of people think that they need to be bulletproof and not feel any unwanted feelings before talking to others or taking any form of risk. It will always feel uncomfortable or scary until you've gained competence and confidence. Repeated acts of courage eventually leads to competence. Repeated competence leads to confidence. Repeated confidence leads to more courage to take future risks in other areas where you aren't competent or confident.... but without the courage to do something that might not work and something that scares you... you won't gain those necessary experiences. You'll just keep putting it off procrastinating waiting until you're perfect and absolutely ready.

Circumstances are made not to matter as much by experiencing all kinds of circumstances surrounding that thing that you're trying to get better at. You can't be ready for every possible scenario that you haven't expected or experienced yet.

The caves you fear the most holds the treasures you seek. You can't wait to have the treasure before even going into the cave.

Depending on Nofap superpowers / benefits to make you somehow skip the courage part right into magically having competence and confidence at something you don't have much experience with is just another form of escapism. To kill tension. To run towards the comfortable, known, and predictable.... but it's the tension, uncomfortable, unknown, and unpredictable is where you challenge yourself to gain competence / confidence / self worth. Surviving the act of taking risks (whether it's a failed or successful outcome) develops self worth. Avoiding risks might feel comfortable in the short run, but it becomes very uncomfortable in the long run. Taking and enjoying risks feels uncomfortable and emotionally volatile in the short run, but very rewarding in the long run.

Don't wait for nofap benefits. Don't wait to feel better or to feel ready. Develop your courage. Take risks. Get your ass kicked by life.

 

It does not.

 

I personally think it does help some. But it's more about not objectifying them. If you're thinking of them as a sex object you're just not going to be able to talk to them like a normal person. If you have ulterior motives every time you talk to a person are you going to feel comfortable talking to them? If you think about them as a human being like you do with your friends then it gets way easier.

 

it helps to reduce anxiety and boost your confidence. but still, need to practice if wanna be good with women.

 

Random bad days are gonna be always there. But they are not going to be as bad as in flatline. Flatline always fade away with time after the brain heal. There's no single post on nofap that the flatline lasted forever, i can take more than you think but someday it will go forever.

 

ya of course when you're retaining women can feel it, your energy. but, still need to work on your game. it's not only one thing that you need to work, it's a combination of different works.
